Lancashire

Defend UK are specialist providers of unique training solutions and consultancy for the management of violence and aggression in today’s ever changing environment. We provide bespoke, professional training and consultancy to empower people with the skills they need to manage violence and aggression, and prevent harm. Many potentially dangerous situations can be avoided simply by recognising early warning signs, and knowing how to react. Our wide range of courses are always preceded by a full risk assessment along with an in-depth analysis of training needs, to ensure that a fully comprehensive and legally compliant service is provided. All our courses are accredited by mandated bodies such as Edexcel and City & Guilds. Defend UK are also a member of and a licenced centre of the National Federation of Personal Safety. It is an employer’s responsibility to ensure staff have the necessary skills to deal with violent, aggressive or threatening behaviour – without this, employees and service users could be at risk, and you are left open to costly and damaging litigation. When you’re dealing with such serious implications, you need to know you’re receiving the very best training and advice – which is why you should choose Defend UK. We pride ourselves on not being an agency who simply contract in external trainers, instead, our team of full time Personal Safety Consultants, Trainers and Self Defence Coaches are highly skilled to provide training packages to the education, business and security sectors. We also work closely with Police Officers, community engagement teams, and neighbourhood liaisons to deliver safety oriented training strategies for schools, colleges and youth organisations.

Swanage

“I’ve always held the belief that we are all creative beings, and that given the right conditions, everyone is able to explore their strengths and reach their full potential.” Inspired at a young age to pursue creative disciplines, Tina began her career as a design and fine arts teacher and tutor. Working in further education colleges in impoverished and crime-riddled neighborhoods in the UK, she quickly encountered the challenges inherent in supporting students that had complex needs. These were young people struggling with violence and trauma, drug and alcohol addiction, low self-esteem and, in some cases, undiagnosed neurodiversity. They struggled to learn in the same way as other students did and were often marginalized by an academic system that measures success solely through targets and standardized tests. Tina quickly realized that no matter the resources or skills of staff available, when individuals are not emotionally and psychologically stable, they simply cannot excel. Driven by a deep compassion and a struggle she could understand, having grown up with violence and unrecognized neurodiversity in her own family, Tina sought ways to create an environment where young people could thrive and flourish, access their strengths and develop confidence. “I’ve always believed that every individual has their own unique strengths and in the right environment every person can get to know what those strengths are.” Training in counselling for drug addiction and Neuro-Linguistic Programming provided a foundation for a more holistic approach. She saw the success that her students experienced when they felt supported in a safe haven; a stress-free space of true presence and non-judgment where they could explore themselves freely through their creative process and develop confidence.
